Sint-Martens-Latem, Belgium (PRWEB) December 18, 2008 -- Image Line Software, the developer of FL Studio, has announced that Edison has matured into a fully featured sample editing and recording tool, deserving of a unique position in the Image Line Software catalog. Edison is now available in VST and a new standalone version (in addition to the native FL Studio plugin format). Image Line has announced the program is no longer part of the 'Juice Pack' plugin suite, and will be sold separately.

"Edison will change forever the way you think about editing and recording audio" noted its developer and Chief Software Architect at Image Line Software Didier Dambrin.

Edison loads into any mixer track (VST effects slot) and then can record or play audio from that position. Users will be excited to learn that it is possible to load as many instances of Edison as their host can contain. Parallel or chained instances of Edison are all possible.

The easy to use interface has more than enough features to satisfy even the most demanding customers. For example -

Reverb Connoisseurs will delight in the Convolution Reverb effect. This allows Edison to 'borrow' impulses from very expensive hardware or real spaces to create an identical reverberation as the original space or hardware (with the particular settings used).

Sound designers lose themselves in the Blur Tool that can literally smear any sound into a lush, spacious and ethereal pad.

For those who demand precision, the Equalize Tool will be a revelation. The user defined envelope can be precisely shaped and then applied to the waveform, tweaked and reapplied until any EQ goal is achieved.

Experimental musicians will have a blast with the pristine quality Time Stretch / Pitch Shift Tool that allows the pitch and formant of the sample can be altered independently.

Beat-makers and sample creators will save hours of work with the Loop Tuner that can loop the unloopable, removing clicks, pops and beating along the way.
